Beastmode: A Social Experiment

About This Movie

Beastmode: A Social Experiment (2018) is a fascinating blend of documentary storytelling that covers two seemingly disparate narratives. On one hand, you have Duterte's controversial presidency in the Philippines, with his brutal war on drugs casting a long shadow over the societal landscape. On the other, there's the reconstruction of a unique social and artistic project that digs deep into themes of violence and performance. The film's atmosphere is intense, often leaving you with lingering questions about morality and humanity. The pacing can feel disjointed at times, a reflection of the chaos surrounding both the political and artistic realms. This isn't just a documentary; it's an exploration of how art interacts with the harsh realities of life, making it distinctive in its approach.
